European tech investment group Prosus has launched ToqanClaw, a no-code platform that allows businesses to develop custom tools and automations simply by describing their requirements in plain language. As detailed in its official announcement, the company is positioning this as a safer, more private alternative to OpenClaw-style agents, ensuring that data remains firmly under European control. TrendKia reviewed the details of the announcement regarding this new development.
Prioritizing Data Control
According to Prosus, the system was built in-house and integrates seamlessly with the company's existing AI platform, Toqan. The company emphasized that it brings many features found in OpenClaw into a highly secure environment where user data remains under their own control and is never utilized to train third-party models. This positioning is particularly significant in the context of GDPR compliance.
Scale and Operational Impact
ToqanClaw is currently being rolled out across a vast network of more than five million restaurants, merchants, and entrepreneurs. This strategy is expected to appeal to organizations concerned about the privacy and governance challenges associated with AI systems that often rely on external tools and services outside the control of the model provider. This move comes as OpenClaw, Hermes, and similar AI agents face increasing regulatory scrutiny in Europe regarding biometric data practices and data handling security.
Early performance metrics from partner restaurants are promising. TrendKia noted reports that a Dutch café chain reduced its financial reporting time from weeks to 30 minutes, achieving 40% year-on-year revenue growth. Another partner successfully increased deliveries by 25% while simultaneously reducing overtime work by 60%.
Large Commerce Model and Future Outlook
Prosus has also trained its own Large Commerce Model using data from more than a billion customers and hundreds of millions of daily interactions. The firm claims this capability allows its agents to move beyond basic task execution and proactively anticipate business needs. In addition to ToqanClaw, the company is introducing a consumer-facing assistant named Zapia, designed for everyday personal use.
“We’re not only building the future for our ecosystem partners, we’re also building AI that works for consumers. The future isn’t about opening ten apps to plan your week, book a trip or compare a price. You'll simply tell your assistant what you want, and it will get it done,” said Prosus CEO Fabricio Bloisi.
